DIY: Whole navigation System!
 

****This is time consuming****

It took me the whole weekend to do if you are attempting to do this fined a nice big space to work on your car doors are going to be OPEN all the time.

Am just getting right to it, the Shop manual or the one that I have did not Show Some of the stuff that I needed to take a part to install the whole thing I did take some Pix but since it was too much work to take Pix I will use the PDF format Pix that I have.
Tools & the parts that you NEED!

1- OEM navigation system harnesses
2- The DVD player + the DVD CD
3- The motorized 7” screen
4- Center consol for the navigation controller ( you can modify your original one if you want to)
5- GPS ANTANA
6- Philips screw driver. You will use it a lot.
7- Smallest FLAT head you can find. You will use this To Unplug the Weirs it makes life a lot EASYER, or any thing that will do the job
8- A wrench + Extensions and size’s ((10m to 17m)) I can’t remember what sizes I used but I know I used the ones that are in that RANGE.
9- Get a Box to Put the Screws and BOLTS in so you DON’T lose them!

If I missed something out I will add it Later on.
